Chapter 354: Sub-Brain

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was dark;

In order to save energy in Hongcheng, the lights in the city are few and dim.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the new villa, seven living corpses with their heads cut off were standing in front of Chu Fei. The feathered snake was crawling around next to Chu Fei, rising into the air from time to time and setting off gusts of dark wind. The dim lights in the yard were dancing in the wind. swaying in the middle.

What a pleasant picture of the underworld...

Chu Fei stood still, but after only ten seconds, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Then he waved his hand and took out hundreds of crystal cores of different sizes from the large backpack at his feet. At the same time, he commanded the feathered snake through the chip to slow down when swallowing the crystal cores. I want to observe.

When the crystal core appeared, the seven headless zombies tied in front were also struggling.

However, perhaps because of the lack of a head, the struggle was not very strong, and there was no sound - at least there was no roar like a normal corpse.

Looking at the seven living corpses in front of him, Chu Fei's eyes flashed with a strange excitement. Well, that’s the spirit of scientific research shining through.

At this moment, Chu Fei divided the computing power of the Cosmic Brain into two parts. One part was to observe the feathered snake swallowing the crystal core and the changes in this process. At the same time, he was studying the changes in the feathered snake's body parameters through the chip in the feathered snake;

Part of me was studying the body structure of the seven living corpses, and remembered the bug Jin Haishan said.

Chu Fei had already seen the situation in which living corpses could survive after their heads were chopped off from low-level living corpses. However, in that case, it was simply that the living corpse had not been completely transformed, and the living corpse virus in the body had not yet differentiated.

This situation is also reflected in normal organisms.

For example, during the development of an embryo, if a part is cut off, the embryo can still develop into a "living" individual - it can only be said to be alive, but its integrity does not need to be described.

The same goes for elementary living corpses. Cutting off the head part during the development process will cause them to develop into imbeciles.

But for mature living corpses, it is rare that they can still survive after their heads are chopped off.

And Chu Fei was very interested in this kind of living corpse. He initially collected these things purely in the spirit of research and planned to dissect one or two to see.

But after Jin Haishan explained, Chu Fei became more interested and caught more.

Why?

Because this involves the "auxiliary brain" of the human body.

Some people will say that humans only have one brain, so where does the deputy brain come from? Are you talking nonsense?

But in fact, humans really do have a secondary brain!

Vice brain is a description, not a real academic term.

In the thorax and abdomen of the human body, there are a large number of complex neural structures that can assist or even control the work of the internal organs of the human body's thorax and abdomen. These complex neural structures form a combination with brain-like functions and are connected to the brain through the vagus nerve.

The accessory brain is an important organ of the human body and is even closely related to the human mind, especially emotions.

Anger hurts the liver, sadness hurts the lungs, anger hurts the heart, thoughts hurts the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys. A considerable part of the reason is that the accessory brain is at work - controlling the operation of the internal organs.

The accessory brain was originally derived from the "ventral brain", which is a strong evidence of the evolution of life.

Some primary organisms, such as tube worms, do not have a brain structure. They can only rely on the nerve structure in the abdomen to regulate their bodies, eat, excrete, etc. This can be seen as the origin of the ventral brain.

As life continues to evolve and life structures become more complex, the ventral brain can no longer bear the "computing power requirements" of life, and the central nervous system (spinal nervous system) gradually appears. Eventually, the terminal end of the central nervous system expands, which may be due to evolution or distortion. Brain structures emerge.

At this point, the biological foundation for the birth of human beings was laid.

Later, in the human body and even many large animals or mammals (mainly mammals with complex structures and many physical skills), the physiological structure of the brain and accessory brain was finally formed.

By the way, Chu Fei thought of the deformation of Wu Yong's abdomen - that weird face;

I also thought of Xing Tian in myths and legends, the headless ghost in ghost stories, etc.;

Perhaps these things contain a miracle of life - the accessory brain is activated!

Now seeing these headless living corpses, Chu Fei was tempted.

What if I could activate my accessory brain?

Even if the computing power of the deputy brain is only one-tenth that of the brain, it is still terrifying. According to the boxer theory, even if it is only increased by 5%, it may have a crushing effect.

In fact, the accessory brain can maintain the operation of the internal organs, provide the initial evolutionary power for life, maintain the life activities of the human body, etc. Its computing power cannot be underestimated.

It's just that the deputy brain has been contributing silently, and it's easy for everyone to ignore this little transparency.

In addition, the deputy brain also has a terrifying ability - all year round!

I haven’t heard that the heart, liver and lungs still need to rest. This thing is fully capable of running to the end of its life.

Of course, the accessory brain can also go wrong, which can lead to cardiac arrest, sleep apnea, etc.; or due to overload operation, the health of the heart, liver, and lungs cannot be maintained, and internal diseases can occur.

Chu Fei suddenly had a thought: If the computing power and vitality of the accessory brain could be enhanced (overclocked), could abdominal and internal organ diseases be cured without medication?

Thinking about the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, it seems that a lot of them are related to this.

However, as soon as this thought flashed, Chu Fei temporarily threw it aside.

The most important thing now is to uncover the living corpse in front of you and try to find the so-called bug and the cause of the bug.

But this is not a bug. It is obviously going too fast and is trivial.

Does Wu Yong's abdominal deformation have any similarities with zombies?

Although abdominal deformation is certainly scary, what is more scary is to stop moving forward because of fear.

I, Chu Fei, am definitely not that kind of person!

I will face the challenge head-on and find the root cause of this change!

Five minutes later, in the temporary shed in the villa yard, Chu Fei easily dissected a zombie.

For Chu Fei, dissection is a veteran.

When studying big data overwriting and the control and damage to weak animals, he used to dissect small animals crazily.

As a person who is determined to become a scientific awakener, dissection is a necessary skill.

At this moment, Chu Fei blocked his breathing to prevent the unique stench of zombies and carefully observed the chest structure of zombies.

After observing for a while, Chu Fei flew out again, and soon caught a normal zombie, and then directly dissected it alive... Well... I don't know if zombies are considered alive.

After that, Chu Fei carefully compared the chests of the two zombies and found that the peritoneum, intestinal membrane, liver pericardium, pericardium and other membrane structures in the abdominal cavity of the zombie that could still move after the head was cut off were obviously thickened, and abnormal enlargement appeared at some important nodes, mainly where neurons were dense.

These abnormally enlarged structures looked like "spider nodes", but in fact they were the structures of the hub nerves, and also looked like small "heart networks".

Further dissection revealed that the liver part had the most obvious mutation, and some structures similar to brain nerves were found on the surface of the liver.

Chu Fei continued to dissect tirelessly, and when it was dawn, the villa with beautiful scenery had turned into a Shura field.

A total of 14 zombie bodies were laid out in a row, including seven normal zombies and seven zombies without heads.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Chu Fei asked Quetzalcoatl to go over and open the door.

Deputy City Lord Feng Yiming came in, but stopped at the door. Looking at the horrific scene in the yard, Feng Yiming's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Someone complained about your place last night, saying that it stinks."

Chu Fei smiled, but didn't say anything, and didn't even feel much apology, just smiled briefly.

This is the end of the world, so the weak should shut up. I studied these things, and they are also useful to you, and can increase your "survival rate"!

Feng Yiming carefully looked at the traces of the dissection, and then threw the complaints behind his mind and became serious, "Are you studying zombies?"

Chu Fei nodded, and his words were heavy: "During the battle last night, I had a guess, and it should be basically confirmed today."

"Oh?" Feng Yiming narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "Do you suspect that the zombie queen uses her abdomen to survive?"

Chu Fei glanced at Feng Yiming calmly. It's easy to talk to smart people, and you can understand them at a glance.

But Chu Fei still said a little bit of his own guess:

The Lucheng Thunder that we saw last year, since it came to kill the zombie queen, it should have succeeded. The zombie tide last year should be the performance of the zombies losing control.

But now the zombie tide is in order again, obviously because there is a "general commander" behind it. It should be impossible to give birth to a new zombie queen in one year. The biggest possibility is that the original zombie queen is not completely dead.

After more than a year of respite, the zombie queen is alive again.

And the reason why she can do this is probably that the zombie queen has opened the "sub-brain". After the "brain" was smashed, she relied on the sub-brain to come back to life!

This situation sounds a bit incredible, but it is natural in this doomsday full of mutations!

Think about the two-headed wolf that Chu Fei met before. Even if the brain was smashed, as long as the brain stem is intact, it can be "resurrected".

In fact, life has too many miracles, or life itself is a big miracle; under this big miracle, many small miracles seem to be taken for granted.

Suddenly Chu Fei had a little insight: as an awakener and aspiring to become a super awakener of scientific research, then you must not be limited by the so-called "common sense" and so on.

In this doomsday with a technological foundation and mutations everywhere, there is no real common sense!

Mutation and unexpectedness are the eternal themes.

Chu Fei and Feng Yiming discussed for a while across the dissected zombie, and then Feng Yiming asked Chu Fei to prepare, and to formally discuss the cooperation plan between Hongcheng, Feihu City and Heitie City in the afternoon, and then Feng Yiming hurriedly said goodbye.

Feng Yiming appeared in the large conference room of Hongcheng soon and presented Chu Fei's research results and conjectures.

…………

After Feng Yiming left, Chu Fei looked at the dissected zombie body and began to think in a new way.

In the exchange just now, Chu Fei had a new idea.

The structure of the liver is as complex as the brain, and its structure is very similar to that of the brain;

Traditional Chinese medicine calls the liver "the general's official", and medicine compares the liver to the second brain of the human body.

It can be said that the human body's metabolic products, pH, chemicals, detoxification, nutrient conversion, sugar and fat decomposition, etc. are basically all responsible for the liver, or most of them.

The role of the liver to the brain in the human body is very similar to the graphics card chip gpu in the chip of a computer to the central processing unit cpu chip.

Chu Fei knew that in the middle and late stages of computer technology development, graphics card chips began to lead CPUs in the field of big data computing. Eventually, in some big data fields, graphics card chips swallowed up CPUs, and eventually developed various complex processors such as VPUs, NPUs, TPUs, etc., expanding computer performance to new areas and achieving a qualitative leap.

Well, the fusion of CPU and GPU is a bit far away.

Let's say that GPU has developed to the middle and late stages. Because of its super-large number of cores, it also far exceeds CPU in the field of hardware computing acceleration! When processing simple and repetitive parallel computing tasks, the efficiency can reach dozens or hundreds of times that of CPU!

Let's talk about the liver and the brain. The tiny unit structure in the liver is also far more than the units in the brain.

Those who have eaten pig liver may find that pig liver has many tiny particles, which are all small unit structures.

In fact, the structure of the liver is really similar to that of the GPU.

Therefore, the "sub-brain" in the abdomen can completely take the liver as the core, strengthen and transform in a targeted manner, and mutate into the second brain of the awakened!

If it is possible to merge the liver and the nerve structure of the abdomen, then the second brain will be three to four times the size of the brain.

If it is used to handle some simple computing tasks, it can completely replace the brain; and the brain can be freed from simple tasks and used to handle complex tasks.

Inadvertently, Chu Fei discovered the door to a new world.

Although Chu Fei has not heard of other awakeners doing this, the awakening path itself is a scientific research path, crossing the river by feeling the stones, and pioneering and innovating.

For example, the energy bypass system in the body has not been done by others. It was also Chu Fei who took the lead in trying, and the result was a miracle.

Because Liu Tingyun also built an energy bypass system in the body, with a cultivation level of 8.0, she was able to get rid of the pursuit of the "old" young city lord Zhang Han; you know, Zhang Han's cultivation level is more than 9.0, and he is still a veteran master who has broken through for more than 30 years!

Chu Fei's eyes became brighter and brighter. But he calmed down immediately. If he wanted to open the secondary brain, he would need a lot of research and technical information, which was not something he could do now.

When the energy bypass system was opened, there was also a human energy model for reference. But this time, there was nothing.

The most important thing now is to break through 9.0!

However, Chu Fei still took out a small notebook and solemnly wrote down a new research project on it - sub-brain, liver.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. In this notebook, Chu Fei has recorded several research topics:

1 Big data overwrites and controls low-level alien beasts

2 Mind power

3 Shark scale gene data

4 The third layer of perception wind

5 Magic energy, life energy, energy bypass system

6 Infrared Eagle Eye Spell

7 Cosmic brain, big data structure and octal programming

8 Potions and medicines

9 Directly swallowing crystal core (Quetzalcoatan)

Now the tenth item has been added: sub-brain, liver.

After thinking about it, Chu Fei added two more pieces of information after the tenth item, and finally became:

10 Sub-brain, liver, zombie, GPU

But I always feel that something is missing.

After thinking for a while, Chu Fei added two more points:

11 Weapon design

12 Butterfly transformation spell (including regeneration ability)

13 Problem-solving thinking

Weapon design is of utmost importance. The reason why humans can easily fight against monsters and zombies is the various technological weapons.

As for the Butterfly transformation spell and problem-solving thinking, it goes without saying that they are absolute secret weapons and life-saving skills.
